Yes, well, I had a go about doggy doo doo a while back but a recent stay on an aire beats it by far!
Lalinde aire on the Dordogne looks OK at first sight though a bit scruffy. It's free and has waste disposal and free water.
But:Confused:
we couldn't find the cassette emptying place so asked a Brit motorhomer who pointed out a small drain cover.
We were parked up next to the borne area when a motorhome pulled up. The driver got out, grabbed his cassette and was about to empty it down the grey water grill. I pointed to the little metal cover and said that was the place to empty and he 'obliged, grumbling that he lives in Lalinde. :Blush:
Next morning two motorhomes pull up on the hard standing and proceed to empty their cassettes onto the grills over the grey water drains then manipulate their turds between the metal grills :shout::shout:
Later we emptied into the drain we assume is for cassettes and two other lots of French motorhomers thanked me for pointing out the hole. (they probably would have done the same as the others)
The thing is, there is nothing to indicate that there is a place to empty cassettes.
The 'fresh' water, too, is confusing. There is a sink with a push tap where we saw people rinsing their cassettes and also fill plastic bottles. And there is a proper tap nearby with screw fitting which is also used for both rinsing and filling up.
Have a look at the photo.
So, what do you do?
We have actually bought bottled water from Aldi to fill up. It might cost a bit more but its clean:thumb:
